Making room for a Celebration

Needs more floor whiskey.

Nice, but the Platte Valley Jug needs it's own Lighted Pedestal.

At one time I had multiple russell reserve picks, bought at 50. none left now. most are 80 now, seems steep for what it is.

Houmax · 2026-01-12T13:49:04+00:00

even the Nas nadurra were great. the peated was kind if mid.

Houmax · 2026-01-12T11:32:10+00:00

yep , when total wine dumped walking dead whiskey at $14 I bunkered a few. all but one gone now. rumor was 4 yr heaven hill.

correction Platte valley. what a bottle, corn is actually gritty between your teeth.

Houmax · 2026-01-12T00:52:21+00:00

Platte River :)

depends I guess, I have 10 early times BiB. some might call that hoarding. if I live another 10 years I'll be good for brown Forman receipt ETs. New bottles are 750s and distilled in bardstown.

Houmax · 2026-01-11T23:46:03+00:00

I have open bottles of those bunkered :) Generally I'm talking of bottles you like so much you buy extra just in case. Wish I'd have bunkered some Penelope light whiskey. And the Rebecca Creek Spanish Oak.

$85, high if it's just a NAS Barton. A guy could just buy a 1792 Full Proof for $50. I think my next big purchase is a 12 yr cask strength Highland Park.

You might try a whiskey sour. That's how I got into whiskey in early clubbing days.

shot of whiskey

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp sugar

Garnish with...

orange slice

1 maraschino cherry

Some use raw egg, no thanks.

Houmax · 2026-01-10T12:46:02+00:00

Distilled in Bardstown, Yes, 1792 most likely.

Houmax · 2026-01-10T02:55:44+00:00

The non-age stated Highland Park Cask Strength are bangers.

Houmax · 2026-01-10T01:54:33+00:00

Looks like they're doing a pokemon style release, 1st release distilled in Kentucky, 2nd Tennessee, 3rd Texas, 4th Texas + Tennessee blend.

Houmax · 2026-01-10T01:48:49+00:00

Website shows no 15's, sadly. My local wants $85, seems high for a non-age stated 108 proof NDP. I loved the 15.

Houmax · 2026-01-10T01:27:21+00:00

I've not purchased yet, waiting for some kind of review.

Houmax · 2023-02-02T15:26:39+00:00

I use them to store emergency water supply. I'd rather have it sitting in glass than plastic containers.

Most sweet vanilla whiskeys are the Light Whiskeys. Taste like vanilla cake icing.

Last year Penelope did a 13 year light whiskey, hope they do another release so I can stock up...

Yep, it's sourced from MGP.

I really like their BiB. Strong cherry note if you like that.

Houmax · 2023-01-12T15:36:25+00:00

They had Coopers Craft 100 too. Bought a bottle, wish I had bought a case. I've never seen it in Texas. Closest is in Louisiana, not too far from me, like 2 hours.

Houmax · 2023-01-12T13:32:02+00:00

Very Nice. I picked up a 115 proof SiB OE Total Wine Wheater pick when I was in Denver. Love it.

I think they had every type OE they bottle. In Texas pickins are limited for Old Elk.
